I have never done the route, but if you start at the Beaumont Club and go south on the Neches River, you take a left and go east in front of Stewts Island, which is on Google Earth. Going out in the Gulf may not be a good idea if someone breaks down. Does anybody have any experience with the intercoastal route? |

If it comes down to it I can plot a conservative route with Garmin Home Port but I'd rather a local do it.

i agree with "urbandisturbance" it will be safer for all if we go intercoastal and now we just need to recruit someone with experience....and let's make this thing happen!!!!
If so is there a route from clearlake? If not what about the boats leaving from clear lake? |

this is an inland route correct?

The charts on www.navionics.com show that the intercoastal is only 1 foot deep in some areas, but also reads over 11 feet in text. If you go to google earth you can see barges being pushed down the intercoastal canal. If you don't have a GPS Chart Plotter, it is time to get one. I use mine all the time. |
I am planning on going to the Golden Nugget this Saturday by car. I am going to check out the marina, take some pictures and get information. I want to see 1st hand what I can expect. I don't know if I want to sleep on the boat or get a room. There is not much information on the internet except $100 per night for a slip for my boat size that is subject to change according to their web site. They measure your boat.

I think this run is classed as a "fun run" . I have had positives feedback on us being able to keep up in our formula bow rider. I really hope we stay intercostal.
I will be leaving from Clearlake. I don't mind making contact with the casino and seeing if we can negotiate a rate for the hotel along with dockage. Let me know who is interested in a room. |

We need a lead boat that has made the run before.
